*Character Name: S10/OWS.SKULL-93
Character Rank: OWS
*Brief summary of the character: Another unit of the endless combine army that will blindly follow what his superiors tell him to do without question and live or die for the union.
*Why do you want to play this character?: I've never actually played as an OTA, but I really love the faction, and I'm willing to do my best and RP something I've never done in the most accurate manner. I'll take it very seriously.
-TERMS AND CONDITIONS-
By putting my account name below, I hereby agree to the following stipulations:
Should my character be removed at any point, and the GM state so it can't be appealed?
The event cannot be used as an excuse to exercise personal vendettas OOCly against others.
Breaking the rules or disrupting the event will result in being ejected from the series.
All rules regarding fear RP should be respected.
You will be at the heart of events that will have an impact on the lore - a serious attitude must be adopted at all times. This is not tongue-in-cheek like some of the Fates events. This is a deliberately serious series in terms of tone and content.
The GM reserves the right to eject you if he feels the rules have been breached.
The GM reserves the right to control the event.
I hereby agree to the following terms,

Extra:
I don't have OTA whitelist but I'd love to get a chance to participate in the event either way, as I said, I'll act just as anyone else with the whitelist and you'll not even notice I don't have it. (If you do, I'm perfectly fine with being removed on the spot, but you won't)
Hello, I'd just like to give some background information on why this was denied (as both a trial game master who has been talking with Cengiz, the GM running this event, and also as an EOW within the OTA faction) past the simple DENIED given to you above.
The OTA faction is arguably the most trusted within the community due to the powerful nature and potential to cause fallout if played incorrectly or maliciously (not that you would necessarily). We hold that trust extremely close to us, as we recognize that it is given with the knowledge that we as a faction will aim to never allow that trust to be abused. This is one of the reasons people without the OTA WL are commonly denied.
In many ways expecting good roleplay from newcomers to the faction who do not possess such a whitelist is unfair as the guides required to understand terminology and correct roleplay are locked within the faction section of these forums- without this knowledge, playing OTA becomes considerably more clunky. This can make coherent roleplay between OTA assets within an event difficult at times, as a newcomer may be slow to communicate information others would easily be able to communicate due to a greater knowledge of terminology.
It is true that in some event cases, the short stories team may veto this decision to not allow people without the WL (such as in Incarcerated)- if you wish to play OTA, then these events are the times when you can do so without needing to possess the whitelist. Unfortunately this event is (at least currently) not such an event.
TL;DR, for this event only people with the WL will be accepted (at the time of writing this message).
If you hold an interest in playing OTA, then by all means please apply next application wave: we're always looking for newcomers.
Hope you have a good day/evening, and I'll happily answer any questions should you have any,
- Mullet (Trial GM, WL EOW).
